About a month ago, I finally went to my doctor about a funny looking mole I had on my thigh. He removed it and sent it to a pathologist who confirmed it was malignant melanoma...grrrr!
Last Wed., I had surgery to take out extra tissue to make sure they got all the cancer out. I got the news Friday that there was no cancer cells in the tissue they removed..so I'm blessed. They took out a section 2 inches by 7.5 inches, and went 2 inches deep. It hurts and I'm not always in the best of moods, but again am thankful that they got it all.
Not sure why I got it...if it was from all the years of tanning and fake baking or if it was just a fluke. For whatever reason, I got it and it was a very scary situation.
Just in case any of you think sometime just isn't right about yourself or if you think a harmless "mole" isn't a big deal...learn from me, I waited a year before I went to the doctor...be smarter then me and get things checked out sooner...
My best to you all...
and to those of you who knew about my situation, thanks so much for all the prayers and positive thoughts that you sent my way...I'm very blessed..
